Barb Peterson Memorial Trail Orientation Hikes

On this Barb Peterson Memorial Trail Orientation series of hikes, we will prepare for the Challenge by tracing the route just as you will encounter it on $event_date.

• Everyone is welcome; you do not need to be entered into the Challenge to participate.
• These hikes can be strenuous. The objective is to acclimate you to the trail and get you accustomed to following it in the direction of this year's Challenge. Leaders will be maintaining an average pace of about 2.4 miles per hour or 25 minutes, 18 seconds per mile (25:18).
• You don't need to notify the hike leader that you plan to attend. Simply show up on time.
• Please bring at least a quart of water (more if the temperature will be warm) and some energy snacks (e.g. Powerbar).
• We will meet at the hike end point and carpool to the start point, leaving a sufficient number of cars behind to carry people back to the start when the hike is over.
• The minimum unaccompanied age is 12.
• All hikes meet at 8 AM. Plan for each hike to take 6 hours (up to 4 hours for the hike plus up to 2 hours for sign-in, announcements, car shuttling, and so forth).
• The hikes are free. A suggested donation of $$3 per person may be given to the hike leader on the day of the hike.
